Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 195 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Jul 2023

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C8 event observed at 14/1844Z from Region 3370 (S15E08). There are currently 9 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for M-class flares and a slight chance for an X-class flare on days one, two, and three (15 Jul, 16 Jul, 17 Jul).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 444 km/s at 14/1714Z. Total IMF reached 18 nT at 14/2043Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -12 nT at 14/1742Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 293 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to minor storm levels on day one (15 Jul), quiet to active levels on day two (16 Jul) and quiet levels on day three (17 Jul). Protons have a slight chance of crossing threshold on days one, two, and three (15 Jul, 16 Jul, 17 Jul).
